Thanks for all your help The Reverend. You have posted lots of useful information. I just got off the phone with Executive Customer Support Tech, I am suppossed to get repointed to Horizons 1 tomorrow. He told me it is just a few degrees west of satmex5, located at 127 long. If that is correct I will have no problem with the line of site. I sure hope this is a smooth transition.

Thanks for the reply. No problem with the time frame. I see you are very busy these days. The authorization have already been given to repoint my dish and get a new transponder. I talked to someone in Administrative Office this afternoon, I have not got the go ahead for a new satellite, that is why I asked if it were even possible. What about my question for a transponder? Are any of them less congested? You mentioned 1300. I had never heard of that one. Is it for business only? I certainly do not want to put out any more money with this system that I am not completly happy with at this time due to the difference in downloads througout the day.

I am getting my dish re-pointed this Thursday the 13th. I am currently on Satmex5 and transponder 1050. Does anyone think either transponder on Satmex5 is better than any other one. Maybe I could even get on a new sat. all together. If that is possible which one may be less congested? I have the DW6000 on the consumer plan. The Reverend, you mentioned a transponder 1300MHz, in you post with yooperlady. Do you feel I would be better off with that one here in Maryland.

I was talking with tech support about 3 days ago. I was having issues with my speed. They asked me to do some speed test using the direcway site. After those results they asked me to go to your site to test.. He sounded like he was very aware of your site for speed test. This was Advanced Level Support

I use this site daily to test my direcway dw6000 speed. I would like to give back to this forum. I have 6 gmail invites to give out. If anyone wants one email me at [email protected] . i need your first name, last name and email address. I did a search for gmail and got nothing. I hope this is ok to post this here.

I have been having my speed test all over the place like many other dw6000 users. My issues started when satmex5 had to be re-positioned. When I called tech support I was given the run around also. I was able to get to someone in Engineering Support. I spoke with him on the phone for some time. I explained to him about my download issues. I have even sent him some screenshots of downloads. He did give me a call back to confirm the receipt of my email. I was told that a update would occur at the NOC on the 25th of Nov. However they did not do it. It is supposed to happen this Thurs. the 2nd. I do not know much about what it is supposed to do. All I know is that it is a update on the NOC side. Have you run the LCCU utility?

I do not feel like it is you. I have been experiencing similiar issues. My downloads may start high, around 150 and then fall way down to about 8 or 9. I have been in contact with direcway. A update is suppossed to come this Thurs. It is supposed to be on their end.

hey my download speed isn't so good what can i do to speed it up :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 3028 Kbps about 3 Mbps (tested with 1013 KB) Download Speed is:: 364 KB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line:: 63 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in .93 second(s) what can I do to make my download speed faster. I assume you do not have a DW6000. If so I must get the tweaks you have done. Please let us know what system you have as well as any tweaks.
